Description
The University requires three fluorescence and brightfield standard tissue culture incubator-based imaging systems for the automated imaging of cells in culture grown in standard tissue culture flasks, dishes and plates. The systems must be able to accommodate and schedule, multiple separate experiments each potentially requiring independent imaging parameters for example imaging frequency, magnification and fluorescence channel(s). The systems will be located and operated by the University's BioImaging facility at three campus locations. Together they will form a live-cell imaging platform to serve the requirements of researchers at each location. The capabilities of each system or its associated software may need to be tailored depending on the research that it will support (see ITT). The main users of the system will be academic labs across the faculty of medical sciences.
The scope of the contract is for the delivery, installation and commissioning of three incubator-based multi-user imaging systems capable of both brightfield and fluorescence imaging modalities (as specified in Section 3). Pricing for warranty, maintenance and after sales service must be provided within Section 4 Pricing Schedule. Ex-demonstration or reconditioned systems will be considered. Please note that the University reserves the right not to make an award of contract.
